Happy Fourth of July

My newest  bear has no name, but he is almost ready for the Fourth of July.   I did not sew his  collar down in  time for photo.

Happy Fourth of July!   Have you ever exercised with weights on your legs?  Well I have, and when you take them off, it feels like you are flying.  Such is the case with moving from half scale to one-inch scale...every thing seems so big and my hands feel as though they have shrunk.  I have spent the last week getting our Beach House ready while Annabelle attended Ballet camp.  Today I will add the porch roof and we will start applying the wallpaper.  I am going to put flagstone down on the bottom floors with Paperclay, make tiles for the bathroom floor and am undecided on the bed rooms.  

Here are the wallpapers form Itsy Bitsy Mini.  The sea horses are for the bathroom, the dogs for the living room, the roses for the girl's attic room and the pink Toile for the grandparent's bed room.  I absolutely adore them.  Annabelle picked all but the Toile.  Here is a link to wallpaper   http://dollhouse-miniature-wallpaper.com/shop/

I have not forgotten about Honeysuckle cottage.  Though, I am thinking of renaming it because I realize that if I am going to name it after a flower, I should have that flower be a main part of the garden.  I am not sure I can make half scale  honeysuckle.

Have a wonderful day,

A Quick Hello

I wanted to show you some things that I have been working on.  First, I finished Posy's bed.  Here are a few pictures, I think she likes it.  The bed is a half scale Cassidy Creation's kit http://half-scale-miniatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=30, here is a link to shop.

She will need a night gown

Just a quick look

The second thing that I am finishing is the clothing for my Mama-bear--who clearly is a mouse--so Anna and I have named her Bella-Mouse.  She will need a few details before she is done...her coat needs buttons,a collar and pockets, she will also get a basket with tiny berries.  I am planning on finishing her this weekend.  She will be my first giveaway and is 1 1/2 inches tall.

I received a beautiful order of wall paper from Itsy Bitsy Mini, http://dollhouse-miniature-wallpaper.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index.  Here is a quick look, I will show the rest this weekend
